Speakers:
Duangrit Bunnag
Partner Ecofuture Company Limited, Managing Director Ministry of Space Company Limited, Architect / Design Director / MD Duangrit Bunnag Architect Limited
Thai architect Duangrit Bunnag’s work is recognizable by strong, simple lines that create a continuity between the outdoors and indoors, such as the resorts Costa Lanta in Krabi and the Naka Phuket. He has recently attracted the admiration of Bangkok’s young, hipster set with the Jam Factory, an artsy outpost that opened its doors in December 2013 and quickly became the go-to meeting spot for creative types of all stripes. By hosting art exhibits, film festivals and parties at its Klongsan location, the Jam Factory is inspiring interest in the working-class neighborhood on what used to be the “wrong” side of the Chao Phraya River that cuts through the city.
